Short & Sweet. What’s your #2 2019 credit card goal? Let’s assume gardening is #1.

I will not redeem my cash back on any of my cards until 12/31/2019.

I will stop micromanaging my credit cards and enjoy using my excellent credit in ways that benefit me.

To make it into the 800 club and get in far enough so minor fluctuations won’t bump me out.

Moderator, please move if I’ve posted in the wrong forum. Thanks.

HAHAHA Gardening is NOT #1 for me...

 

My 2019 goals are to get all my CC's over $10K (not store cards), cut the CC's that won't budget on my limit.

Ditch PenFed who in 9 years now has NEVER been good to me.

Try and PC my FU to a Freedom since i'll never been under LOL/24

Get a 2nd Disco Double cashback card.

I'm gardening for 12 months so no new credit for at least 6 more. I have all the cards I need (14/$168,000) so unless someone drops a new one with great benefits I'm out of the app game. I should be in 760-780 score range accross the board by summer and that is my ultimate goal...

If approved, work on my World of Hyatt spend, getting to both $6k and then $15k.

Decide whether to close/PC my second Citi AA Platinum

Keep under 5/24 just because that seems to be a popular gate now with multiple lenders.

March 2019 a slot opens up. Perhaps a Cap One card, Savor most likely for the SUB and then long term PC my existing QS to Savor One.

Sept 2019 another slot opens up.

 

Utilize some of my airline miles, hotel points, and cash-back savings funds to travel a little and enjoy the perks from the cards.

 

Keep an eye out for AMEX Platinum 100k MR offer.

Good luck CreditInspiredSmiley Happy

Being that credit scores are meaningless for me, i could have 800's and still get rejected, i know what i want to do but not sure if i can stick to it. Id love to 1st make it to Dec with a, my job, b, no hurricanes, c , no apps or hps. I do want to cut back but need to either find my courage or have one of my bad days when i dapp, depressed apping ,where i just say screw it and start canceling without regards lol.

First victim really should be me tsking my $5 back from Pendread and closing membership, take said $5 and play the PowerballSmiley Happy

#2 Garden and let those scores hit 700. Stop micromanaging every little thing and just relax.

#1 Goal is to garden until such a time that the few cards I have left on my wishlist are within reach.

#2 Bust 740 accross all 3 bureaus

#3 Increase the limits on my cards with smaller limits

#4 Possibly close my Capital One Quicksilver card. I'm on the fence about it but it's only my oldest card by 1 month and if at the 1 year mark I don't get a decent increase on it why bother keeping it around? I'm pretty sure it's bucketed so I'm not holding out much hope for it and it's already practically useless to me.
